Jillian Michaels diet pills do they really work?

August 14, 2009 - 8:58pm 77603 reads 143 comments

Has anyone tried the new Jillian Michaels QuickStart Rapid weight loss program, Maximum strenght fat burner pills, or the Thincare international Jillian Michaels maximum strenght calorie control tablets, or the triple process body detox and clense. If so could you tell me is it safe and is it worth the money?

Jillian Michaels has a weight loss web site you might be interested in --

http://www.jillianmichaels.com/

Michaels is about "real weight loss for real people," as you probably know if you've watched her work with the contestants on The Biggest Loser. She has a LOT of information on her web site about healthy activity and weight loss, and a daily email newsletter you can sign up to receive.

She does sell her weight-loss supplements (in addition to her books and other diet- and fitness-related products) on her website. Her supplements are designed "to restrict your calorie intake automatically," which means, basically, that when you take them before a meal, they help you feel full. The products are a bit pricey -- $30, $40 and $60, for a 14-day supply. I can't give you any research or information on how safe they are because the website doesn't list the ingredients. But maybe someone who's tried them will get online here and let us know.

In the meantime, here's a SELF magazine article about Michaels' own diet:

I have been taking Jillian Michaels weight loss supplements for 2 weeks now and I have already lost five pounds and I feel great. I have PCOS and been going to nutrionist for a few years been put on so many different diets and nothing worked. Thanks to Jillian I am finally losing weight.

So your post was from September 2nd. How have you been doing since then? I just started the pills and I would love to hear how it is working for you.

Frustrated

I also have PCOS. I tried the Supplements for 2 weeks as well. I didn't loose a pound. I excersise 60 minutes 5 mornings a week. Eat between 900-1200 calories a day. I still way more than I should. The pills didn't work for me.
